Phillips is a wordsmith. Not the classic mining or poverty story though the cover looks like it. A refreshing, interesting look a the society of those who lived in mining communities.

"Andra" was originally published in 1971, and adapted as an 8 part TV series in Australia in 1976. The book was apparently intended as mainstream SF, not YA SF, though I suspect for today's readers its ideal audience would be early teens. The voice of the story is almost naive, and the science shaky, with several side-trips into what might be classed as magic realism. I read the book several times when I was a teen, and remembered it as a bittersweet tale, engrossing without being a book that one loves absolutely. On an adult reading, it is a very strange tale. A young, below-average intelligence woman receives a head injury in a post-nuclear world where life is rigidly controlled, stratified by IQ, homogenised so that everyone is blue-eyed, blonde-haired, and oh so obedient. At 60, all but the high tier IQ's are euthanised, as are all people with any disability, including blindness. The highest of high IQ's have their brains transplanted into younger bodies, and there is at least one character who is 300 years old. All this is accepted with little sign of unrest, as the whole of society is rigidly brainwashed from birth, and anyone who shows too much resistance is mind-wiped into compliance. Andra, the region of her sight damaged, becomes the subject of an experimental operation - a slice of a brain in storage is spliced into hers - and if the operation does not succeed in restoring her sight she will die even if she survives. The section of brain which is transplanted is from a high-IQ boy who died in 1987 (before the nuclear war and a rather unlikely 2000 years before). (view spoiler) I enjoyed re-reading this book, but doubt I would have liked it originally if I hadn't been in my early teens when I first read it. Andra comes across as child-like and (at least socially) idiotic, for all her charm. It's a quixotic, somewhat illogical story about the desire for freedom and invokes a piquant sense of longing, and loss. But I doubt it would work at all for today's audience.

Al DeMeo has lived two lifetimes before he turned forty, and this book tells his story. He has warm memories of his father, and can somehow seperate his father's crimes from the havoc it caused on his family. It was stunning to read that he carried a gun to elementary school to protect his sister. The auther equivocates about the number of people his father killed -- "Murder Machine" puts the number at 200, but that's somewhat unreliable. The only one Al is certain about is the one I remember reading about growing up -- his father mistakenly identified a door-to-door salesman as a hitman and killed him. This killing of an innocent (or a "civilian" in Soprano's-speak) seems to have broken his father's spirit somewhat, and led to a downward spiral. After his father's death, Al Demeo carries on outwardly strong, but eventually the stress of holding it all inside nearly culminates in suicide. The two most powerful scenes in the book are the desciption of Al's mourning for his father and his near suicide. I believe the book was ghost-written, and much of it has that breezy, second-hand feel, but those two scenes are very intense and the reason I give this book the highest rating.

I admit I haven't read much Hemingway, but I did like this story.

Entertaining, but totally forgettable once it's over. You've read one Grisham, you've read 'em all.

Sadistic, yet worth a smile for. Johnston made the main character, Matt Wells, looks as though he'd become a character of his own book and was left there only with two main tasks: save his beloved ones, and survive from the Devil.

Maybe I’m biased because I love fantasy with a dash of history thrown in, but this series is one of my all time favorites.

many of cortazar's stories are mysteries; they're vague and imaginative and fantastical and they resist being fully grasped. but that's what i like about them. you get lost in them and enjoy the feeling of being lost.

Couples tells the dysfunctional story of a contractor, Piet Hanema, who is slightly out-of-place in his well-to-do Massachusetts town, both in terms of his profession (builiding as opposed to working in an office) and his virility, which is the source of his many affairs with the town's wives. When a professor and his wife move in, Piet's most consequential dalliance begins. This book memorialized 60s swinging but did it in such a way to make it seem an act of desperation, loneliness, and lifelessness.

Bir İngiliz çiftinin sevgili Provence'ım, evlerini yenilemeye sevinçleri ve yerel kültürün keşiflerinin gerçekten büyüleyici bir hesabı. Belirgin bir İngiliz mizah anlayışı ile harmanlanan masal, yer, özellikle yerlilerin gıda, manzara ve büyüleyici karakteri hakkında sevilecek her şeyi yakalar. Keçi ırkı benim en sevdiğim bölüm: gülmek-yüksek sesli histerik! Tüm kitap, toplanıp takım elbise takip etmek istiyor!
